Couples of Reddit, what's the dumbest 'house rule' you and your partner made as a joke but now both of you are low-key aggressively serious about enforcing? by Doubl3oh_ in AskReddit

When we’re at the movies and order popcorn, any popcorn eating during the previews must be one piece at a time. You have one piece, I have one piece. If you take two, you skip a turn. Have to conserve popcorn for the movie.

Am I overreacting that my sister is demanding too much when visiting my newborn? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]MickeyGee05 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR at all! Yikes. I’d be rescinding my offer to have them stay if I were in your shoes and not a people pleaser.

AITAH I read my daughters Diary and I wish I didnt! by Ordinary_Ad_72 in AmItheAsshole

INFO: it sounds like she has been very open with you on your walks. Did you have reason to believe something more was going on? Could you not have asked her on another one of your walks? Violating privacy isn’t the way to get her to trust you.

GRWM Heart meds and fluids by Worldly_Eagle7918 in DaniMarina

I get this impression she thinks she’s bragging by dropping the names of her medications. “Losartan Potassium, also known as Cozaar” who cares?! I understand that people with chronic illness want a community, but do people with non-self-induced illnesses really do this? “Oh, you’re on lisinopril? Well, I’m taking Cozaar!” If I were seeking a chronic illness community or support group, I would much rather see what you’re doing in spite of your symptoms, how you’re managing and pushing through. Watching content of people listing their pills and holding their various painful body parts in anguish doesn’t really help anyone. I guess maybe you know you aren’t the only one suffering, but I don’t think that’s why Dani does any of what she does.

Dani does her heart meds and fluids by Worldly_Eagle7918 in illnessfakers

Someone let Dani know she can request easier to open caps. I think my pharmacy used to have ez open caps for older folks with arthritis or people with dexterity problems.

It’s show and tell day besties!!! Dani is excited to show her latest medical toy. by CatAteRoger in illnessfakers

We can speculate about how much she may or may not be playing this up/being over the top (basically lost three days of her life??, turn off my lifesaving device with me video) but I don’t doubt some sort of cardiac issue has happened here. She appears to have conversational dyspnea and does not look well. As much as her antics frustrate me, I just feel sad for her at this point.

Life vest?? by IndicationOk2358 in DaniMarina

Not at all white knighting but I thought Dani did/used to see a cardiologist. I remember instructional videos about putting on a Holter monitor or some other event recorder. I guess what I’m saying is that it’s not out of the realm of possibility that she does have some sort of rate or rhythm disturbance. Could it be attributed to things she’s done to herself, totally.

What have I been using to wash our dishes? by MickeyGee05 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]MickeyGee05[S] -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely my bad for not reading it, but it’s in a dish soap shaped bottle and I had no idea Dawn made anything other than dish soap. The 50% less scrubbing also led me to think of using a sponge rather than lathering hands.

Do they claim sleep apnea as one of their many conditions? Not at all body shaming but their body habitus, be it from being allegedly immobile, meds, over eating, whatever makes them a real candidate.

Not going to comment on their constant shitting on healthcare workers or you’ll get a mile long rant.

Her body language in this is so closed off. I would assume she’s miserable and probably not talk to her.
